Fully Automatic Installation server package

FAI is a non-interactive system to install, customize and manage Linux systems and software configurations on computers as well as virtual machines and chroot environments, from small networks to large infrastructures and clusters.

It's a tool for mass unattended Linux installation. You can take one or more virgin systems, turn on the power, and after a few minutes, the systems are installed, and completely configured to your exact needs, without any interaction necessary.

This package is needed for setting up a FAI install server for network installations, for running the dirinstall in a chroot environment, and to build installation CD/DVD's and USB sticks.
